Chapter 1: Rebirth without Choice
Huaguo, a small city with extremely developed commerce and trade.
Cheng Ling stood on the roof of a high-rise building, staring blankly at the traffic under her feet, and she really didn't know how to express the bitterness in her heart.
Having spent nearly 40 years in this city, he has been a good boy in the eyes of his parents since he was a child.
Because he is the only child in the family, his parents also put all their hearts and minds on him. The trajectory of life from childhood to adulthood has been properly arranged.
From school to graduation, to work, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation, they can't escape their shadow.
Therefore, he has developed a lazy temperament. As he grew older, he also had his own family, began to yearn for freedom, and wanted to leave the shackles of his parents and rely on his own ability to make a world.
So, he resolutely quit the stable job arranged by his parents and started a business.
I don't know if his eight characters are in conflict with fate, or if he doesn't have that ability at all.
Over the past three years, several start-ups have failed repeatedly! Now, I owe a lot of debts. My wife also ran away with a pair of children, and was urged by the landlord to pay the utility bill in the morning. It took out the child's piggy bank to deal with it.
Look at the ten steel hammers left in your hand, and come to the place where you can help the needy. I contributed all my inventory, and waited until eight o'clock in the evening, and the fantasy was bombarded back into reality.
Lost soul came to the rooftop, even the night sky did not give face, it was dark and dreary, without a trace of light.
"Boom!"
A muffled thunder sounded, and Cheng Ling unconsciously leaned against the daughter wall. If you jump now, can all these troubles be eliminated? Just pity a pair of children, and the parents who want their son to become a dragon!
Gradually, his right leg stood on the low fence, and the instep of his foot was covered with wire, and there was a slight pain. He doesn't care anymore, this person is ready to die, what is a little pain?
"Boom, boom!"
Cheng Ling looked at the dark sky with disdain, and scolded angrily: "What is it called, Lao Tzu is ready to die, and I am afraid of your ball!"
In the sky, it seemed that someone heard his scolding, "Click!" sound, and a flash of lightning instantly lit up the night sky. Immediately after, the raindrops the size of beans fell and smashed Yangtian's face.
"Damn! I still use lightning after screaming, and it's raining again, do you think I'm crossing the thunder tribulation? I've read too many immortal cultivation novels, stinky God!"
Cheng Ling was even more angry, stretched out a finger, and pointed at the sky and laughed!
But as he scolded, the rain seemed to increase and the lightning became more violent.
"Thunderbolt!"
At this moment, a bigger lightning bolt struck, and Cheng Ling stood on her daughter's wall, like a bright lamp, leading the thunder and lightning to herself.
He seemed to smell a scorching stench, and he fell limp downstairs. In the pitch-black sky, a circle of light suddenly appeared, enveloping Cheng Ling inside, and after a while, the circle of light seemed to take something away, slowly disappeared, and his body fell to the ground.
I don't know how long it took, Cheng Ling woke up leisurely. He couldn't help but wonder, how could he still be alive? Being struck head-on by lightning should be the reason that he would never survive, could it be that he owed too many debts and even refused to accept them?
He tried to get up, but felt a pain all over his body. And in his mind, there were many memory fragments coming from him, which made him have a splitting headache, but fortunately, there were not many memory fragments, and they were digested after a while.
Eased up a little and opened his eyes. I saw that I seemed to be in a dormitory, the dormitory was not big, only a few dozen square meters, and there were two ancient wooden beds inside.
He sat up hurriedly, but he was shocked in his heart, how could his body be so flexible today, as if he had drunk a large bottle of whip wine. In the past, I had to rely on my elbow to borrow strength, but in the end, the years were unforgiving, and the hardships of entrepreneurship have hollowed out the body!
He looked at his own hand, and saw what was the matter? How could it be a child's hand? It was white and tender, almost like his son's! When he lifted the futon, he found that he was a big chunk shorter, the standard of a seven- or eight-year-old child.
Cheng Ling scolded, and a sharp children's voice sounded in the dormitory: "This thief God, he won't even let me die, and he even wears a whole soul, isn't this purely tormenting people?"
But no matter how he scolds, God won't care. After scolding for most of the day, there were really no words in my stomach, so I came to my senses and secretly worried.
What the hell is this? Now that you're alive again, you have to survive, don't you hear your stomach growl with hunger?
By the way, there seem to be a lot of memory fragments flashed before, it should be the original owner of this body, and it seems that it is still necessary to rely on his memory to know the current situation.
The mind began to recall vigorously, and gradually, those memory fragments appeared like a movie. It was a long time before he let out a long breath and fully understood.
The owner of this body is named Chen Ling, but it is homophonic with his own name, and he really can't tell it if he doesn't listen carefully.
The world we live in today is not a Chinese country on the earth, but a different world.
In my memory, I only know that it is called Canglan Continent. This continent advocates monasticism, and there are many kinds of kendo, spells, martial arts, etc., showing a prosperous scene.
The original owner of the body was originally a child of a family in the Fallen Leaf City of the Canglan Continent.
The Chen family is also a well-known family in Fallen Leaf City, with thousands of years of inheritance. However, such a network of family relationships will be very complicated, and the clansmen will tilt against each other and put interests first.
Chen Ling's mother is the wife of Chen Haoran, the contemporary head of the Chen family. However, for the sake of profit, the elders of the clan forcibly expelled her from the family and married the daughter of the He family, another major force in the Fallen Leaf City.
His mother was angry and took Chen Ling out of Fallen Leaf City, and with all her savings, she sent him into the nearby Sect of Cultivation Sect, the Wuxiang Sword Sect.
However, in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, there are still many children of the Chen family, and after they learned about Chen Ling's matter, they did not help, but often bullied.
Just three days ago, several family members beat him severely under the pretext of Chen Ling's theft, and he was seriously injured. After lying on the bed for three days, he didn't get any better, and he was about to die! At this moment, Cheng Ling's soul fell from the sky and occupied his physical body.
Cheng Ling sighed secretly, this kid is also a poor person. It is not reluctant to occupy his body, and he can only complain that God has made people!
Now that he is reborn, he has to find a way to live, as for Chen Ling's mother, he should be raised like his own mother!
As soon as his thoughts turned, he felt his head clear for a while, and when he closed his eyes, his mind seemed to be a small stream. He didn't know that it was precisely because of this idea of his adoptive mother that Chen Ling completely accepted him and completely fused his soul and consciousness together!
I was immersed in a wonderful feeling, and there was a soft "squeak". Cheng Ling woke up in an instant and looked towards the door.
I saw a seven or eight-year-old child push the door in, still holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, he saw Cheng Ling sit up, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Chen Ling, why are you up, how do you feel now? Hey, Chen Lei, they are too much." ”
Cheng Ling looked through the memories in his mind and remembered that the child's name was Su Rui, a disciple in the same dormitory as Chen Ling, and the only person in the Wuxiang Sword Sect who treated him well, and he had been taking care of him for the past few days!
"Thank you, Su Rui, I'm much better now. Cheng Ling said gently. As a person who has entered the age of no confusion, he will always be very kind to children, not to mention the benefactor of this body.
"That's great, I finally asked for a few nourishing herbs from the medicine hall, and boiled them into medicinal soup, you can drink it quickly!" Su Rui hurriedly handed over the porcelain bowl in his hand.
Cheng Ling was moved in his heart, in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, the qualifications of the two were not good, and they belonged to the kind of marginalized disciples. Su Rui was not less bullied by other disciples on weekdays, and now that he was begging for medicine, he must have suffered a lot of cold eyes.
Looking at his immature face, Cheng Ling took the porcelain bowl and drank the medicinal soup in one go. After drinking, he said: "Thank you, Su Rui, I'll be fine after drinking the medicinal soup, and you won't ask the people in the medicine hall for me in the future." ”
Su Rui looked at him happily and said, "Okay! As long as you recover, it's nothing! In a few days, the sect will open a mountain to accept disciples, and we can also try it, hoping to be selected and become an official disciple!"
The Phaseless Sword Sect is also well-known in the vicinity of Fallen Leaf City, and there are tens of thousands of disciples in the sect, and the disciples are divided into ranks. Like Chen Ling, who relied on connections to enter, he could only temporarily serve as a miscellaneous disciple, and only when he opened the mountain to accept disciples, could he have the opportunity to become an official disciple of the sect.
Miscellaneous disciples are a kind of disciple status set up by the sect to satisfy the cultivation of formal disciples! They have to undertake a large number of sect affairs, but their remuneration is very low, and they only need to take care of the popular Qi Induction Technique.
Without the guidance of a master, whether or not they can cultivate the debut method depends on chance! And Chen Ling and Su Rui, who have been in the status of miscellaneous disciples for a year, have not cultivated a sense of qi, obviously their cultivation qualifications are mediocre, and they are even more bullied by other disciples.
No, Ling Ke is not half interested in monasticism, he is from the earth of the 21st century, the Internet information is developed, and he has read many fantasy novels about monasticism, which has always been.
Upgrading one's cultivation will be struck by lightning, and eating a treasure will have to boil one's blood and internal organs, isn't this looking for abuse, it's better to live a few decades of peaceful life, close your eyes, and don't open your eyes! A lifetime will pass.
After several years of entrepreneurial failure, the ambition has been completely worn away. No matter how awesome the fantasy is, it can't withstand the passage of time!
Now I just want to leave the Wuxiang Sword Sect, fulfill my promise, and support Chen Ling's mother for the rest of my life, and I am worthy of taking his body.
"Su Rui, I don't want to stay in the sect anymore, I want to accompany my mother and leave here. ”
"Why?" Su Rui asked in surprise, "Doesn't your mother really hope that you can succeed in cultivating and seek justice for her?"
"I'm not a cultivator at all!" Cheng Ling said indifferently.
"Then what should your mother do? In order to send you to the sect, she spent all her savings, and now she only builds a thatched hut at the bottom of the mountain to survive, how will you live in the future?"
"I'll take her out of here and find a way to make a living, so she won't starve to death!"
Chen Ling's mother couldn't stay in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, so she could only live outside the sect. First, Chen Ling is not at ease, and because there is nowhere to go.
A woman who has been expelled from her family will also be considered a shame by her own family and will not accept her back!
Su Rui was dumbfounded, after all, he was still young and didn't know a lot of things, but he was reluctant to let Cheng Ling leave.
Cheng Ling said again: "Su Rui, cultivation is not the only way out, we are still young, there is a lot of room for development, don't be trapped by it." ”
Su Rui didn't seem to understand, so he could only nod blankly.
Cheng Ling sighed secretly, knowing that he might not be able to understand this, but he really didn't want to stay in the sect.
He got out of bed, packed up a few pieces of Chen Ling's clothes, and said, "I'll go first, go see my mother." Su Rui, thank you for taking care of you, see you soon!"
After saying that, he left the dormitory without looking back and walked down the mountain!
